Whales

Here is a humpback whale video as per student request. When we went our great whale watching adventure Thursday we learned that humpback whales can sing long songs. Click on the link to see and hear some humpback whales. Ask your child if they can spot fins, flukes, a blowhole, and a dorsal fin.

We used yarn to see the lengths of several types of whales
We learned the parts of a whale and drew a diagram to label the parts on an orca. This child's drawing was really impressive (it even looked better than mine and I had practiced drawing it :)
